In the archipelago’s embrace, a leader once stood tall,
With iron will, he faced the call.
From Davao’s streets to Malacañang’s gate,
He sought to shield his land from fate.
Through fire and storm, his banner waved,
Yet choices made, both bold and grave,
Drew watchful eyes from lands afar,
Where justice weighs both wound and scar.
Now in The Hague, his fate unfolds,
A leader bound by stories told.
From power’s peak to judgment’s stand,
A nation’s past within his hands.
O, Philippines, your journey flows,
Through trials only history knows.
May wisdom guide and mercy find,
A path where truth and grace entwine.
